Me and my wife are buying our first house. Our conveyancer has texted usto see if we want to order extra conveyancing searches. Frankly we in the dark as to what's appropriate for conveyancing in Winslow
The scope of Winslow conveyancing searches depends primarily on the premises, the location, the probability of any of these risks, your familiarity of the area and risks, your overall attitude to risk. What is important is that you properly understand what information each search could provide. You may then make a decision if you consider that you need that search. If unsure, ask the lawyer to offer guidance.
My lawyer in Winslow is not on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd Solicitor Panel. Can I still retain my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Godiva Mortgages Ltd approved list?
Your options are as follows:
- Carry on with your preferred Winslow lawyers but Godiva Mortgages Ltd will need to instruct a solicitor on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the overall legal fees and cause delays.
- Find an alternative solicitor to to deal with the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd panel
How does conveyancing in Winslow differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Winslow contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Winslow typically buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Winslow or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Winslow is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Winslow are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Winslow you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Winslow may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

I am looking for Winslow online conveyancing estimates. Can I be sure that all the Winslow firms that are listed on your website are on the lender conveyancing panel?
The solicitor and licensed conveyancing practices on our directory have advised us that they are on the mortgage company panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the lender panel. To date we have not been informed by either a bank or a member of the public that the data about a specific Winslow firm being on the lender conveyancing panel is not accurate.
